Hearing Voices

Hearing voices is not always a sign of mental ill-health and the experience can differ greatly between people.

Our uniqueness as individuals is often reflected in the voices people experience. These voices can have distinct content, identities, meaning and impact on the person experiencing them.

The voices and experience can be distressing for the person who hears voices and for those offering care and support. Often those offering support (both as a carer and a worker) may feel unsure what to do to help someone who is hearing voices.
